8. Batman Begins
A predecessor in many ways to the Arkham games, Batman Begins is an adaptation of Christopher Nolan’s first (and arguably best) Batman film. The game follows the plot of the film. Play through Bruce Wayne’s training and his battle with the scarecrow and Ra’s Al Ghul.
As a plus, most of the film’s cast reprises their roles in the games- something that doesn’t always happen in movie adaptations.

10. Gotham City Imposters
If you ever wanted to be one of hockey-pad-wearing imposters from the Dark Knight, Gotham City Imposters is the game for you. You can also play as a Joker imposter. As a Batman imposter, you’ll fight crime, as a Joker imposter, you’ll wreak havoc.
Either way, you get to do so with weapons, something the real Batman certainly wouldn’t approve of. This exciting first-person shooter is unique in the realms of Batman games, as it is one where Batman himself is not actually playable.

I hope she gets out of the way before that guy’s bullet reaches her….
